[tulip] SMC8432BT with DEC21041

[Chip Cuntz]

Donald,

Below is the output from tulip-diag -ee.  It looks like there is an
inconsistency in that 210441 media index 04 does not get represented
correctly in dmesg...  RedHat would not modify your driver would they?  I
think I can find the source file they used during compile if needed.  If the
EEPROM is corrupt is there any recourse?  I am beginning to think this NIC
is destined for the trash can!  I know just enough about low level driver
design as my trash man knows about Solaris application development (what I
do) so bear with me please.  Any suggestions as to what I can do next would
be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Chip
